I use it some...at 10.5 lbs the 10 ga. gets kinda heavy.

Buster loves the water but I've never used him for ducks. The duck hunting I do is by invite and they always have dogs.

Buster scent trails, finds and flushes the turkeys barking like a mad man. If you happen to be close you can get a wing shot if not you have to go to the break site and call them in. I think I shot about 3 last fall on the wing. (Google "Buster the turkey dog")
